How MCCXLVI is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 200 | CC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 6 | VI |
| Total | 1246 | MCCXLVI |
MCCXLVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CC (200) + XL (40) + VI (6) = 1246.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCXXXXVI
Why isn't 1246 written as MCCXXXXVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 1246 is MCCXLVI.
